Man, can things get any worse for Huntsman?  He's got -1% of the abortion vote, according to CNN.

That's what happens when you're a sane, reasonable man in today's GOP.

:yes:

it's one of the reasons why the GOP is not a viable option these days, at least nationally

Okay, DG.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Is true.  When have I ever been wrong in my predictions?

Okay, DG.
:rolleyes:  I never claimed that GOP is not viable electorally.  I just claimed that GOP in its current incarnation courts proudly ignorant idiots.  I did not mean to imply that such a strategy is doomed to failure.

Romney wins by about a dozen votes!  You heard it here first (and last, if I'm wrong).

#532
Massive math fail by CNN.  :lol:  Santorum leads by 4 votes with one precinct missing, the remaining precinct goes 51-33 for Romney/Santorum, and the math doesn't add up to 14 vote lead for Romney?  I guess after -1% for Huntsman, I should really lower my expectations for the CNN crew, especially given that half of them sound like they're shitfaced.

EDIT:  Finally they managed to do the arithmetic right over the commercial break.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Wow, a 14 vote win! What a squeaker!
It's an 8 vote win, actually.  Those extra 6 votes that Romney picked up since 2008 made all the difference.

I thought he got six less?

Damn, you're right.  It would've been so much better if he got 6 more rather than 6 less, because it would mean exactly an 8 vote swing, if those extra 6 were distributed evenly among the rest of the candidates.

What would happen if California, Texas and New York decide to hold their primaries in January next time?
